The graveyard had been redesigned The walkways had been realigned The biggest change At least to me Was the signs now out For all to see Five short words that we all read Not keep off the grass Don't tread on the dead Genius, You'd have to say Don't walk where we The dead all lay This sign, It said it best Don't tread on the dead Let them all rest Keep on the path Respects may be paid Just stay off the grass One request made The simplest sign The words stay in your head Not...keep off the grass Just...Don't tread on the dead

Don't Tread On The Dead
The graveyard had been redesigned The walkways had been realigned The biggest change At least to me Was the signs now out For all to see Five short words that we all read Not keep off the grass Don't tread on the dead Genius, You'd have to say Don't walk where we The dead all lay This sign, It said it best Don't tread on the dead Let them all rest Keep on the path Respects may be paid Just stay off the grass One request made The simplest sign The words stay in your head Not...keep off the grass Just...Don't tread on the dead
